Universal phone chargers are on the horizon

One of the most annoying things about about mobile life is dealing with various chargers. Several cell phone companies have their favorite styles of proprietary connectors, and even mini USB can have different plug heads. But there’s been a...

AT&T exec kinda/sorta acknowledges the end of iPhone exclusivity someday

Vague, yes. But even so, the merest acknowledgment on the part of AT&T regarding the end of its exclusive iPhone offering still seems to qualify as news. And why not? Whenever the subject’s come up in the past, the carrier practically stuck its...

Lawsuits, pt deux: Nokia claims Apple violated 10 patents

AT&T sues LCD makers, alleges price fixing

The boys in blue (AT&T, not law enforcement) have certainly been keeping themselves busy. Not necessarily with improving their 3G network, working out a reasonable pricing scheme for MicroCell, or enabling that pesky iPhone tethering feature, but...

B&N takes on Kindle with new 3G eReader, the Nook (AT&T)

If I could layer in some old 60s Batman-style audio of “Smashes,” “Booms” and “Blams” into these posts, I would. This would be a great place to use them. In a move that may frighten Amazon’s Kindle...

Outdoing Amazon, Walmart offers Pre for just $80

If you thought Amazon’s $100 offer for the Pre was good, check out Walmart.com. The discount retailer just sweetened the deal with an $79.99 price tag for the smartphone. The catch is that the $80 isn’t the checkout price, but your final cost after...

JD Power: Tmo #1 for customer satisfaction

It may be the #4 national wireless carrier, but apparently T-mobile is #1 in our hearts. Magenta has scored another JD Power award for customer satisfaction, with the highest ranking among major carrier-owned retail stores. The companies were...

T-Mobile retreats, decides not to charge fee for paper billing

Not to be shown up, Sprint launches "Any Mobile, Anytime"

Re: Re: T-Mobile reports disappointing third quarter earnings

These flex-pay bums gotta go. That's what pre-paid is all about. And you pay for your device. Why sell yourself cheap? The willingness to subject yourself to those with dubious payment abilities reeks of desperation, and doesn't put your csr's in a...

Re: Re: iPhone + VZW: Will they or won’t they? (Verizon CEO says it’s up to Apple)

HAHA! Verizon will never die you idiot! As soon as the AT&T ( the iPhone network ) loses the iPhone it will lose all its customers! Perhaps you didn't notice but Verizon has the BEST network in the US. This isn't a educated guess or a scientist...
